1. Re: JBoss Cluster on Multihomed zone
Queries:
- Any special configuration for zones on Solaris 10?
- Specifying bind_addr in cluster-service.xml in a MULTI HOMED machine is MANDATORY?
- Everytime it uses ONLY 3.183.158 interface to communicate, why not other interfaces like 10.50.1?
- Any special configuration required to bind the JBoss intances on 10.50.1 NIC and make cluster running? The requirement is to make the cluster working on 10.50.1, what is to be done in that case?
- Even when the cluster forms with 3.183.158, why the session replication does not work?
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh. -
2. Re: JBoss Cluster on Multihomed zone
A few key points:
1) If you don't tell JGroups what address to bind to, it doesn't bind to all interfaces, it picks one. So, on a multihomed machine, it's always best to tell it which one to use.
2) There are multiple JGroups channels in an AS (in 4.0.3.SP1, there are two). Http session replication uses a different channel from the one configured in cluster-service.xml. It's channel is configured in tc5-cluster-service.xml.
3) If you don't want to manually edit those file to set bind_addr, it can be done globally by starting jboss with the -b switch
./run.sh -b 3.183.158.1 -c all
Doing that sets a global override.
Why it works on 3.183.158 and not 10.50.1 is likely the result of some OS/network layer configuration on your machine or on the networking hardware between machines. -
3. Re: JBoss Cluster on Multihomed zone
I have specified the bind_addr to 3.183.158 and the cluster works fine (Instances form a cluster while startup).
I have followed the http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-5569/ar01s07.html and made session replication successfully worked in scenario 1.
The session replication FAILS to work in scenario 2, What specific changes in tc5-cluster-service.xml required? and why so? Why difference in scenario 1 and 2?
In scenario 2:
When accessing the counter application:
instance 1 log is:

The count should BEGIN from "5"
Any suggestions why session replication is failing?

4. Re: JBoss Cluster on Multihomed zone
Hello Bela,
As suggested, I have changed the tc5-cluster-service.xml as shown below and session replication now works fine.############## ################ vi /apps/jboss/current/server/devl-cluster-01/deploy/tc5-cluster-service.xml --- --- --- <Config> <UDP mcast_addr="${jboss.partition.udpGroup:228.1.2.3}" mcast_port="45566" bind_addr="3.183.158.73" ip_ttl="8" ip_mcast="true" mcast_send_buf_size="8000000" mcast_recv_buf_size="1500000" ucast_send_buf_size="8000000" ucast_recv_buf_size="1500000" loopback="false"/> <PING timeout="2000" num_initial_members="3" up_thread="true" down_thread="true"/> ---- ---- ---- ############## ################
That was a great input.
Thanks,
